Four Men Achieve Rare Feat

Call it the 3-8 combination. It's not a split, but a rare feat of bowling a 300 game with an 800 series on the same night.

Four men accomplished it during October, including two in the same week at Don Carter Tamarac Lanes -- David Leskar 300-827 and Bryan Blankenship 300-805.

The others were Sam Costa 300-847 at Verdes Tropicana Lanes and Andy Van Nostrand 300-816 at Strikers Family Sports Center.

Costa's series was the highest of the month in the area.

Two senior men accomplished the rarity of a 300 game with a 700 series. They were Dave Morris 300-749 at Don Carter University lanes and Bill Marguilies 300-700 at Verdes Tropicana. The best senior series was Jerry Goldberg's 752 at Strikers Family Sports Center.

The best women's series of the month was Laurie Gordon's 768 at Don Carter University Lanes. Angela Coleman just missed the 300-700 club with her 299-756 at Don Carter Tamarac Lanes.

Two senior women bowled a 700 series at Don Carter University Lanes -- Lou Welch 277-718 and Sue Cohen 247-716.
